Remember the game show, "The $10,000 Pyramid"
in which one contestant (sometimes the celebrity, sometimes not), facing the
game board would tick off words that fit into a certain category and the other,
sitting with his or her back to the board attempted to guess the category --
with the tick-tick-tick of the game clock audible in the background?

In her
Pesach message, emailed to the Shaaray Tefila community this morning, Rabbi
Deborah Hirsch urges us to “…remember the promise
and hope for a better world….feel God’s redemptive power….[and] ever treasure
God's blessings of freedom and life.”

Too tired to create with words tonight, I welcomed the opportunity
to swap the laptop for the counter top, to channel my mother, my grandmother,
and the generations of women who came before them, and to create a piece of our
family’s (non) seder.

Inspired by Ima on (and off) the Bima, this post is one in a series marking the days of the Jewish month of Nisan leading up to Passover, which begins at sundown on Friday, April 3, corresponding to 15 Nisan. If you want to play along, check out this year's #BlogExodus and #ExodusGram prompts. This series of posts also is priming my heart, mind, and spirit to participate in a six-day summer writing seminar, Beyond Walls: Spiritual Writing at Kenyon.
